- paulddraper 9y agoYou're probably familiar with code reuse. This is conversation reuse. A particular point or observation occurs so frequently that it is documented and described in a common place, and then invoked when needed.
- zdkl 9y agoTo expand on paulddraper's argument, I felt reusing that conversation spares you and I from my non native english while making my point clearer than I could by myself. I would however be happy to expand on my view if you have more relevant remarks than a meta argument on the form of my response.
